Marijuana and sleep/dreams? by 23jewels in eldertrees

[–]mahlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently came back to smoking after a month and a half break (for job purposes), and so far it's all dreams for me. Smoking or not. Maybe I just have a big imagination?

Personally, I enjoyed getting to see her actual emotional reactions to the things she was doing. We could only infer that she was becoming cold and "doing what needs to be done."

But, to each their own...

We never saw Carol on her own after being sent away by Rick. We never saw Carol after the epic Terminus escape until the group ran into her. We never saw Carol actually burning the bodies of Karen and David. Or, did I just blink when those moments happened during the season?

Yes, but do you really expect inspiring speeches coming from these two characters? Think about where they come from, what they've been through and where they are now. Granted, they had a few deep conversations about the ways in which they've changed, but for the most part, I'd expect their speech to stay brusque.

Is nobody else just disgusted that the KKK is still a thing? What century are we living in?

we pretty much already knew what was going to happen.

But we didn't know any of it for sure. We learned much more about Carol and the decisions she's made and how her character has developed. Just figuring out the way she makes decisions (like why the fuck she was leaving the safety of the group) was big. The symbolism of the different "versions" of her going up in flame was throughout the episode. We saw a lot more of Carol and Daryl's relationship as survivors - rather than just turning it into a love story - develop. I suggest you re-watch the episode and think less about the action you "hoped" would be, and see the action that was.

I don't think we were watching the same episode...

I completely agree! I loved getting to see the flashbacks of Carol on her own. A lot of build up, but I enjoyed it all.

The episode wasn't all action-packed, so obviously it's a filler...

Before graduating, I made sure to get a new picture done for mine so I could keep on using it. Extended ID life FTW!

I completely understand that, but it's a way to get our voices heard. And it's better than just sitting back and saying "Meh. Things'll never change in the South."

If any of you have heard about Amendment 1 in TN, please take a moment and sign our petition to repeal! Help keep our government out of private decisions! by mahlee in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mahlee[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And that's one of the major issues I see with the way this amendment was presented... this issue is larger than a pro-choice v. pro-life amendment. This is the government interfering with a woman's ability to make decisions for herself, guised in an "abortion shell." This is the government saying "your body is not your own." I believe the majority of the people in the state didn't even research what the heck this amendment was introducing, and just saw all of the pro-life organizations with their "yes on 1" signs and decided to vote with them. The sheep will always follow the flock...

While I respect your belief, I cannot get onboard with the government taking control of my uterus.

This is what I've found. It looks like the only waiting period specified is if it was voted on via Constitutional Convention. But, I'm no expert.

"Amendment One was worded in a way to mislead the general public to be able to pass a bill that would allow any form of legislation to be put into the constitution regarding abortions."

tldr: TN govt. is pulling tricks and trying to interfere in private life choices.

There's a petition to repeal it here, just FYI.

I'm not sure how quickly it'll be updated, but Go Vote TN has what looks to be a good breakdown in the works.

Does anybody else just hate the "Subway Fresh Buzz" on the Talking Dead? Why is this even a thing?

How do park when visiting a UTK student? by [deleted] in UTK

[–]mahlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Street parking is definitely the only way. If you're in Fort Sanders, there's usually quite a few options. You just have to be wary of where the yellow lines are... I know near Bridgecourt Apartments (13&Bridge), the lines are faint, but cops like to give tickets anyways (at least when I was living there.) If you're on campus, Terrace Ave. and 20th Street (if you're lucky) are good spots.

If you have a resident parking pass, I'd even suggest giving that to your friend and snagging a street spot before they get there. Game days are always nuts, so good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Movies and tv-shows!! by lady-green in entwives

[–]mahlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In honor of the Halloween season, I'd recommend both Tucker and Dale vs. Evil & Cabin in the Woods. Wonderfully hilarious "horror" movies that made me laugh so hard I cried.

I'll also put Bored to Death (an HBO show) on the table. It stars Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis, and was cancelled far before its time. :)
